The Soul Grenades

Based in London, hailing from Hackney, Montenegro, Moscow, Sydney and beyond, Soul Grenades have established themselves as one of the most exciting live acts on the funk and soul scene. Fronted by singer Sabina Challenger, the band boasts a super-tight rhythm section, blistering horns and a burgeoning song book of original music. Fusing their many influences, encompassing crate-digging rarities from the 1970’s to contemporary dance floor fillers, Soul Grenades deliver no-nonsense, hard-hitting, uptempo funk that compels people to Get Up Offa That Thing and dance.

Following the release of their critically-acclaimed EP, which received airplay internationally, the band have been back in the studio working on their hotly-anticipated debut album, scheduled for worldwide release on 14th July 2017.

Soul Grenades have performed at some of London’s most prestigious venues including The Jazz Cafe, Pizza Express Jazz Club, The 299, plus a number of festivals around the UK. The band have supported several internationally renowned recording artists including Brooklyn Funk Essentials, The Mighty Mocambos, Geno Washington, The Filthy Six and more + we truly can't wait to welcome them to The South London Soul Train Live Stage.

Then on level 2 - Funks gonna hit the fan, as rare 45" vinyl junkies, The Legendary Snowboy + Mighty Ben Gibson drop more of the platters that absolutely still matter and wait for the sweat to fall. The finest selections in groove and downright nastiest in Funk, served up and delivered hard and direct to the dancefloor. All Night Long.

Level 2 / Room 2 - S'all about Tru Skool Beats as your souled up, rootical audio warrior Keith Lawrence + Stu Tolhurst set out to prove that Reggae got Soul.
